R.I.P., Scooter

Phil Rizzuto, the legendary shortstop and announcer who bled Yankees pinstripes, died today at the age of 89. His "holy cow!" exclamation played a role in one of the funniest episodes of "Seinfeld" and his foreplay play-by-play in Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" remains a classic marriage of baseball and rock'n' roll.
